Raped by Microsoft Word

Fiorella's computer was raped this morning, taken against Fio's will by a mad-man Microsoft Word program intent on inserting Windows 10 into her laptop, and Fio was helpless to protect it.

She had not asked for Windows 10, and she did not want it, but she couldn't stop its progress. Her neighborhood repair shop told her that a lot of people had called in with the same problem, but there was no way to interrupt the program.

For four hours, Fio left her machine open to keep an angry eye on things while she vented her rage by cleaning up the house. When the installation was complete, she was congratulated, welcomed into the tribe, and asked to sign the small print. Finally, a choice--accept, postpone, or decline.
